Insiders have alleged that the couple have had sex on ‘numerous occasions’

A source told the magazine: “As she was approaching the prison entrance, I heard her telling a pal she’s pregnant.”

Lauren’s representative later denied the claims when approached for comment.

The insider explained Lauren’s “comments might have been made in jest,” as New! commented how Lauren looked “curvier than usual” when she arrived for her twice weekly visit.

Despite Lauren insisting she’s been celibate since meeting Joey, the publication also alleges that Lauren and Joey “have had sex on numerous occasions while Joey’s been on day release”.

Lauren’s made no secret of her desire to get intimate with Joey, who’s been behind bars since 2009 for possession of a firearm, kidnap and blackmail, and earlier this month said sex with the lag was going to be “worth the wait”.
